3 hrs after dinner - dry heaves & vomiting. Anyone else? What helps? (GRAPHIC)

HI! Last night for the 2nd time since surgery about 3 hours after dinner was done I started having dry heaves, just spitting up saliva. After an hour of this I ended up vomiting part of my dinner (I don't think the amount was my entire dinner, just seemed like a small "glob"). It was so incredibly painful to experience, so uncomfortable. Dinner went down fine, stopped at feeling full. Dinner was some chicken with asian spices and a bit of rice (I've done small itty-bitty amounts of carbs with no problem). No sign at dinner or right thereafter of trouble. What can I do? My dinner wasn't a huge amount, a few ounces. When this happened before, I was 1 wk and it was 3 hrs after breakfast - had eaten an egg. (My feeling there was that perhaps I had some left in my stomache after digestion and my tummy wanted to get rid of it.) I am almost 2 wks post-op. Thanks for all replies, I appreciate your help.
